40 Years Ago Taken from the pages of the Dolores Star, Friday, March 23, 1973 Larry and Marilyn Pleasant, Editors

Announcement was made this week for substantial improvements to the business area of Dolores by Roger Anderson who is working on an overall plan which he previewed to the Dolores Rotary Club Tuesday evening. Anderson himself will remodel the old Star building on Fourth Street beginning at once for an opening in the early summer. The new business will feature a gallery of Western Art and will also include a leather shop owned and operated by Henry Sudduth in the same location. The two men have extensive plans for making the new business the hub of expanded wholesale and retail activity in these fields and also plan to publish a directory of Western artists and their works.
